Women who have battled breast cancer often need more than checkups to feel well again. On Monday, M.D. Anderson Cancer Center Orlando will open a medical clinic designed to meet the physical and emotional needs of survivors. At the M.D. Anderson-Orlando Survivorship Clinic, breast-cancer survivors will work with a nurse practitioner to create a care plan. The clinic is based on similar programs at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York , the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston and M.D. Anderson Cancer Center Houston.
